No matter who we are or what we do, each of us eventually deals with loss, grief and death. Profound spiritual crises often arise when forced to respond to a loved one’s painful illness or confronted with our own mortality. Our panel will address how to gain insight as to our own experience with grief and loss, what spiritual practices are helpful, and how to come along side others who are grieving.

Panelists:
Darleen Pryds, Ph.D., Professor of Spirituality at the Franciscan School of Theology & The Spirituality of Death and Dying (Now You Know Media)

Beth Slevcove, Spiritual Director and author of the book; Broken Hallelujahs

Rabbi Alexis Pearce, BCC, Bereavement Coordinator at Silverado Hospice
